WATER-CLOSET FLUSH-PIPE.

T0 w'ZZ whom, t r11/Ly concern:

Beit known that I, CHARLES I-I. MOORE, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Flush-Pipe for I/VatenClosets, 6to., of which the following is a specification.

The object of the invention is to provide a flush-pipe for water-closets, slop-sinks, or the like having the elements that open the cistern-valve within the pipe and arranged to be operated by a spindle extending out from the pipe at a convenient place between the cistern and the inlet of the waterecloset.

The accompanying drawing is a central vertical section of my invention, in which 1 represents a receptacle intersecting the upper and lower sections of the Hush-pipe and forming a part thereof.

2 is a lever held in position within the receptacle by a pin 3, secured to the walls, but is tted loosely on the pin.

4 is a spindle confined within a passage through the center of the bonnet that supports it in the opening in the front of the receptacle. This spindle 4 has a disk on the end of it within the receptacle, against which one end of the lever 2 abuts.

5 is the main section of the flush-pipe and is connected to a cistern and water-closet in the usual way.

6 is a cylinder fitting loosely in the flushpipe and having the lower end resting upon the surface of the lever 2.

7 is a cylinder of the same character as the lower one, and 8 is a rod connecting the cylinders and has a long enough thread at the upper end to allow for adjustment of the upper cylinder to meet any discrepancy between the ends of the valve and upper cylinder. The top of this upper cylinder is just far enough below the depending end of the cistern-valve to allow the cistern-valve to havev a seating. The space between these two iittings and between the top of the lever 2 and the top inner wall of the receptacle 1 can be made greater than is shown by the drawing.

9 shows the inlet portion of the watercloset.

10 is a valve-seat.

11 is a fitting having perforations 12 in the side, through which water enters into the flush-pipe from the cistern, and a channel out around it for a rubber ring-valve 13 to fit into.

14 shows a bent siphon and is a part of the cisternevalve, and in the event of water leaking into the cistern from any source the said bent siphon conveys the surplus water into the ushepipe.

15 represents the cistern.

In operation when the spindle 4 is pushed in the end of the lever 2 which abuts against the disk of the spindle 4 is forced down and the other end is forced up, carrying with it the two cylinders and lifting the cistern-valve from its seat sufficiently to admit water enough to flow under it and into the flushpipe to begin siphonic action, and whether the spindle 4 is instantly released or not the water in the cistern will discharge to the closet.

The advantages are, first, it dispenses with a pull and chain and a lever on the top of a cistern or an exposed push-rod; second, it is easy to manipulate, with slight liability to derangement.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In combination, a water-closet cistern having a valve-seat secured in the bottom, a cistern-valve on the valve-seat having a guide to conduct it to its seat, a passage for the escape of any accidental accumulation of water in the cistern when the cistern-valve is closed, a flush-pipe connected to thecisternvalve seat and to a water-closet, slop-sink or the like and arranged to be empty except at times when the closet is being flushed, a rod and fitting in the flush-pipe operating in conjunction with a spindle and lever in the receptacle to lift the cistern-valve from its seat and having a certain amount of play between the cistern-valve and lever, a receptacle made separate from the flush-pipe and joined thereto, a cap or bonnet secured on an opening in the receptacle, a lever within the receptacle, and a spindle within a passage in.

the cap or bonnet whereby the lever in the receptacle is operated and lifts the cisternvalve from its seat and causes a continual outflow of water from the cistern after the lever has been operated and returned to its normal position, until the water contents of the said cistern are nearly exhausted.

2. In combination, a water-closet cistern having a valve-seat secured in the bottom, a cistern-valve on the valve-seat and having a guide to conduct it to its seat independent of.

the lifting-rod, a passage for the escape of any accidental accumulation of water in the 01S- IOO IIO

Within a passage in the cap or bonnet Whereby the lever in the receptacle isoperated and lifts the cstern Valve from its seat and causes a continualoutlow of Water from the cistern after the said lever has been operated and returned to its normal position, until the Water contents of the said cistern are nearly exhausted.
